Let's transform your PE class with Space Battle, a target game using four-square grids as "spaceships" where students defend their pins while trying to knock down their opponents'. This game combines strategy, teamwork, and skill development while keeping all students actively engaged throughout.
• Setup requires four-square grids (painted, chalked, or taped) representing spaceships
• Bowling pins serve as "engines"
• Teams of 4-6 students per ship
• Last team with standing pins wins, or team with most pins after time limit
• Variations are unlimited
• Excellent opportunities for strategy discussions between rounds
• Even eliminated teams can continue participating
Take care,

Dave
